    The Trump Presidency and the Global CHRO

    What will a second Trump presidency mean for US businesses? Putting America First means putting other countries second, third, or even lower down the order.  America First actions at home will not be mirrored by benevolent actions abroad. The international impact of delivering a MAGA agenda is predictable. CHROs should consider how US domestic politics will challenge their global operations.   Author and Podcast Host Alan Wild explores the five management challenges for global CHROs in 2025: geopolitics, tariffs, immigration, labor relations, and international cooperation. Key Takeaways:   Geopolitical challenges for CHROs during a Trump presidency. [3:09]   Historical data and future expectations of imposing higher tariffs.

    Does Sectoral Collective Bargaining Have a Future?

    In this episode of the Wild Side podcast we look at the merits of sectoral collective bargaining, how the Global Employee Relations Leader should view sectoral deals in the countries they cover, and the questions they should be asking when faced with mandatory wage awards. Bargaining at the multi-company level, often supported by legislative extensions of the outcomes to all employees, has long been a feature of Western European and South American employee relations. The system came under pressure during the 2007-2008 financial crisis when steps were taken to maintain the system by allowing companies in difficulty to derogate from sectoral agreements they couldn't afford.   Key Takeaways:   How to identify power-based and rights-based countries. [2:07]   Understanding erga omnes extension provisions of OECD countries. [4:32]   Nordic countries' agreements are not extended by law. [6:42]   Germany’s dual system of employee relations. [8:58]   Sectoral collective bargaining agreements in Latin America and the United States.

    Productivity Challenges and the Employee Relations Specialist

    This episode of the Wild Side podcast focuses on where the next major productivity gains of multinational corporations will come from. Over the last 30 years, major productivity surges have come from challenging the power of organized labor, outsourcing non-core activities, and the wholesale offshoring of manufacturing and service provision abroad. The demand for companies to produce year-over-year productivity gains continues at the same time as operating costs have increased in offshore destinations. As a result, companies are taking cost-cutting initiatives in countries that have previously only experienced growth and are replacing people with technology at an increasing pace at home. This brings new challenges into old markets and old challenges into new markets.   Key Takeaways:   Two approaches that forever changed employee relations. [2:38]   The advent of the International Employee Relations Specialist. [4:15]   Productivity challenges of multinational companies. [5:05]   Eight Challenges of the Employee Relations Specialist.
